YouTube has become the latest to add location tagging. It revealed that it is currently testing the ability for creators to add a location to their Shorts during the upload process. Like Instagram’s Location Tags and TikTok’s Place feature, location tagging is an easy way to enhance search and discovery.

There’s no word whether YouTube will group together Shorts that are tagged with the same location, but that will likely be the case. If so, this could lead to YouTube adding Shorts content to Google Maps so that people can see relevant content when searching for locations to visit, especially restaurants, cafes, city parks, and landmarks.
